The Red Latifa – Unleashing Strength and Courage
About the retreat
The Latifa of Strength and Courage – I Can
The Red Latifa is associated with the qualities of strength, courage, and action. It is called “Ruh,” meaning “soul” in Arabic, and is considered the soulful part of a person.
In this retreat, our intention is to cultivate presence and activate the ‘Red’ essence within. When the Red Latifa is active, it awakens strength and courage within an individual. This energy manifests as warmth and heat throughout the body, leading to a literal increase in body temperature, making one feel hot and energised.
Physically, it provides strength, vigour, and vitality
Spiritually, it gives courage, allowing individuals to face challenges and take risks in life
Mentally, it energises the mind, providing mental clarity, focus, and the ability to think clearly and vividly
Emotionally, it fosters the strength to experience and embrace all feelings without fear, making one feel capable of facing any emotional challenge.
When this energy is flowing, it brings a sense of excitement and enthusiasm for life, turning one on to the experience of living. It creates a feeling of being “turned on” to life, filling one with spirit and soulfulness.

Why Take the Journey?
Our True Nature is what we call our Essence, it can be experienced as Joy, Confidence, and Vitality. These are dimensions we were in touch with as children and forgot as we grew up.
When we are not connected with our essence, we live life influenced by our unconscious patterns, and we react rather than interact. As we reconnect with our essence, our life becomes more full and we find ourselves having more energy, confidence and trust.
The teachings do not focus on treating or curing a mental disturbance. Even though the body of work contains therapeutic elements, it is not psychotherapy, rather it is a process of self-discovery.
The Diamond Logos are teachings for the times we live in – bridging the gap between ancient spiritual traditions and modern psychology.
This retreat is facilitated by Emilio Mercuriali, a senior teacher of the Diamond Logos, founded by Faisal Muqqadam.

- Self-confidence – Presence, Will and Manifestation.

Mandali was an incredible experience in a beautiful placE
I wish I’d spent more than 3 days there and truly hope to go back in the future. The rooms were very comfortable, the teachers were lovely, the food was delicious - I have absolutely no complaints and can’t say enough good things. Mandali was well worth the trip!
